Buying a knock-off lamp will also void your warranty and should anything happen to the projector you will not be covered. Go with an authentic Epson ELPLP34 — it’s worth the few extra dollars to save yourself problems.

Step 3: Install the Epson ELPLP34

Before installation:

Turn off power switch on the back of the Epson EMP-X3 projector. The confirmation buzzer will sound twice.

Disconnect the power cable

Allow the Epson EMP-X3 projector to cool for one hour. Inside of the projector can be very hot since these machines operator under high temperatures and you run the risk of being burned if the projector has not cooled down.

Do not operate the projectors while any of the lamps are removed as this may result in malfunctions, fire hazard and other accidents.

1. The lamp cover is found on top of the Epson EMP-X3 projector. Loosen the lamp cover screw — you can’t remove it only loosen it.

NOTE: The Epson ELPLP34 lamp contains mercury and should not be thrown into regular garbage. Recycle your used lamps! If you bought from an authentic manufacturer they will recycle the lamp for you at no extra cost (another reason to buy authentic lamps).

Hie. I am irvin based in zimbabwe. I have a epson Emp x3 projector that has a problem. When I put it on it on it gives out a green light insted of a white one. The images will be looking all reddish. Could this be a problem with my lamp. If so what is your qputation and how can i get it delivered

Hi Irvin,
That does sound like a problem with your projector lamp. Often just before end of life, you will see a distortion with color. The green light is also an indication of a projector lamp about to reach end of life. I would suggest contacting http://www.discount-merchant.com to see if they deliver to your country. You can also contact Epson directly and ask where their closest retailer is located. Just be sure to buy an authentic lamp for this projectors as the counterfeit versions have been causing a lot of problems.
Cheers,
